NEW YORK, April 24, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Native Teams, the global platform for work payments and employment, has released its 2025 report, “The Rise of Cross-Border Hiring Between the U.S. and APAC”, highlighting a significant surge in remote hiring across the Asia-Pacific region by U.S.-based companies.
The report, which draws on proprietary data from Native Teams and global market research, explores the strategic shift toward global hiring, with a focus on cost optimization, access to specialized talent, and the rise of asynchronous and hybrid work models.
Key Findings:
- 25% of Native Teams’ U.S.-based clients currently hire remote talent in APAC.
- India, the Philippines, and Indonesia are the top three APAC destinations for U.S. companies.
- Software development accounts for 33% of all APAC remote hires, followed by project management (14%), customer success (10%), and HR & recruitment (10%).
- Larger enterprises are leading the charge: 38% of companies with over 5,000 employees plan to expand headcount in APAC, compared to 11% of micro-businesses.
- The Employer of Record (EOR) market is projected to grow at 16.7% CAGR, reaching $12 billion by 2030.
- Despite a small decline in remote job postings, hybrid roles in APAC are rising, indicating a shift toward more flexible employment models.
“Global hiring is no longer just a cost-saving tactic — it’s become a strategic lever for growth,” said Nicholas Ghitti, Chief Revenue Officer at Native Teams. “This report shows that U.S. companies are increasingly investing in APAC talent to scale efficiently, maintain operational agility, and meet demand for 24/7 workflows.”
Additional Insights:
- Async collaboration models are increasingly used to enable productivity across time zones.
- Remote work infrastructure is strengthening in key APAC markets, with improved English proficiency and lower operational costs.
- Demand for flexible and remote roles continues to outpace supply, particularly in India and Southeast Asia.
- EOR adoption is accelerating, as businesses look to navigate complex tax systems and labor laws without setting up local entities.
The report emphasizes that while hiring across borders presents compliance and compensation challenges, platforms like Native Teams enable companies to build distributed teams legally, efficiently, and with confidence.
